To properly wire a light fixture with 3 sets of wires, first identify the hot (black), neutral (white), and ground (green or bare) wires in each set. Connect the hot wires together, the neutral wires together, and the ground wires together using wire nuts. Then, connect the fixture's hot wire to the group of hot wires, the neutral wire to the group of neutral wires, and the ground wire to the group of ground wires. Finally, secure all connections with electrical tape and install the light fixture according to the manufacturer's instructions.

How to wire single switch to operate 2 lights?

Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.The first thing to do at the distribution panel is to turn off the breaker feeding the receptacle's circuit.To the new two gang light switch box, two wires will go from the wall receptacle, connected black to black and white to white and ground to ground, to the new two gang light switch box and then two more sets of cable wires will leave the new light switch box and proceed up to the new individual light fixture boxes.In the two gang switch box, first connect the incoming and outgoing ground wires to the ground screw in the new switch box.Be sure to connect the ground wire around the grounding screw in the light fixture box.Next the white wires will be spliced together with a wire nut and pushed to the back of the box and then the incoming "hot" wire will be connected across the top of the two new switches.Pre position the switches in the off position, which is the handle down, before attaching the wires. The "hot" incoming wire connects to two pigtail wires coming from the top screw of the two switches. These three wires will be spliced together with a wire nut and pushed to the back of the new switch box.The two black outgoing wires that feed the new light fixture boxes are connected to the bottom screws of the individual switches.When either switch is turned to the on position, voltage will be applied to the appropriate fixture junction box.As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliancesalways use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.


What is the transformation of energy of flashlight?

The chemical energy stored in batteries gets transformed sets into electrical energy through the wires. This then gets transformed into light energy that you see.


New ceiling fixture goes on as soon as power is back even though switch is off?

You switched the power and switch wires. There should be two sets of wires in the ceiling box. 2 black, 2 white, 2 bare. Two groups of three. The white wire going to the light is the incoming wire. The black one in that group is the power coming in. Take that black wire and connect it to the other black wire. The second black wire goes to the switch. The power comes back to the light on the white wire of that set. Connect that white wire to the black wire in the fixture. The switch should work now. That is if everyone wired the house the way it is supposed to be.

How can I safely connect and manage 3 sets of wires in one outlet?

To safely connect and manage 3 sets of wires in one outlet, you can use wire connectors or terminal blocks to join the wires together. Make sure to follow proper electrical safety procedures, such as turning off the power before working on the outlet and ensuring the wires are securely connected. It may be helpful to consult a professional electrician for guidance.


Where is the tail light bulb on a 1998 Saturn sl2 and how do you get to it?

First, smash everything with a hammer until you can get to the bulb. The bulb should have a part number on the base. Replace with same bulb bought from autoparts store. Couldn't have been easier, eh?


Why would an electric receptacle have 3 hot and 3 neutral wires With one set of wires screwed into the sides of the outlet and the other two sets pushed into the back?

no you have to improperly install it....... :P Shut off the power to the receptacle. Now remove the three black wires from one side of the old receptacle and twist them all together with your pliers. Make a short pigtail 6 inches long, same colour and wire size. Now twist this pigtail into the other three wires. Hold all four wires together with the appropriate size wire nut. Do the same with the white wires. Push all the wires into the back of the receptacle box. Connect the two pigtail wires to the new receptacle black wire to the brass coloured screw, white wire to the silver coloured screw. Screw the new receptacle back into the box, install cover plate, turn the power back on. Done deal.
